you might be better off using cdparanoia than cdda2wav. The
development version is based on the Paranoia IV library, which sounds
like it may do all the kinds of things you want. However it is
incomplete, and IIRC the author (xiphmont) is now spending all his time
saving the world with Ogg Vorbis. However the last release of
cdparanoia was in December, and it claims that Paranoia IV is almost
ready for use. It'd be a shame to let cdparanoia languish, so if
anyone here has the time to do some work on it ...
